Emily Cain

Emily is simply fantastic! She did my balayage highlights right in time for my trip out of town and I love them more and more every day! As well, her hair trimming technique was unique in promoting hair health and it was clear she really cares about her clients. She listened to what I wanted and then used her creative artistry to give me even more. And she topped it all off with her winning personality! Definitely my go to stylist from now on!

I could not recommend Emily enough! I truly look forward to seeing her when I get my hair done; not only is she a great stylist, but she is so fun and easy to talk to. She makes you feel so comfortable and right at home.
As far as hair goes, she is amazing. She took the time to give me a special cut that did not necessarily take off length, because I did not want to cut my hair shorter, but took each individual hair strand and cut off all of the broken, damaged, and split hair, which was exactly what I needed. She took her time to give me exactly what I wanted with my hair. It’s been about 12 weeks since I have seen her and my hair still looks great. I’m so happy to have found a permanent hairstylist who does an excellent job and that is so fun to see and talk to.

Emily is AMAZING! I first went to her after suffering a complete color disaster from another stylist, and Emily was able to correct it to exactly what I was hoping for. I have now been to her many more times, and I love my hair and I constantly get compliments. She’s had extensive training, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the products and techniques she uses. Emily also sincerely cares about here clients. Every time I come in, she shows me new tricks on how to style my hair, which is so helpful. Emily never makes me feel rushed and always seems one hundred percent committed to what she’s doing.
I’d highly recommend Emily to anyone!

Emily took my hair from drab to fab! I have never been so happy with my hair. My Baylage highlights look awesome! I have never had so many compliments before. Emily loves her job and takes it very seriously. She explains and educates all throughout the cut, color and styling process, and I really appreciate that. She is funny, cheerful and very skilled at her profession!

Emily has an amazing talent! I had overly highlighted, damaged hair that I had to keep getting the roots dyed every month to keep up with the color. Emily did a major color correction to blend my blonde so I can go months now without spending money at the salon! I so appreciate it! I’ve it had to go back once so far but I will continue to go back to HER as needed. Thanks Emily! You’ve saved me a fortune!!!

I wanted to share my wonderful experience with all of you! As you know it is hard to find a great hairdresser, well no need to look anymore! Emily Cain is the artist you can trust with your hair! For the last three years I had virgin hair and it took a lot for me to find someone I could trust and that I did, yesterday she worked her magic and gave me exactly the highlights I wanted! My overall experience with her was delightful! I highly recommend her!!! See you soon Emily…;-)

Emily fit me in at the last minute to fix a highlight job (by someone else) gone wrong. Not only was she able to mask the horrendous color I came in with, but she gave me one of the best color jobs I’ve ever had. She said she wanted to bring out the color in my eyes. I was so surprised she had even noticed and used that as a starting point. I was very impressed and the results were amazing. She did just what she said she wanted to! I loved it! My husband loved it! Thank you, Emily! I will definitely be back!

Just moved into the area and needed a color job quickly because I was leaving for vacation 5 days after the move so I did a search of Unilocal and found Emily. She managed to squeeze me in and I am very grateful!
Since I was moving my old hairdresser had provided me with my color formula which I gave to Emily in advance. I was expecting that she would attempt match it (which is what other hairdressers have done in the past) but she made the special effort to go and purchase that a exact brand prior to my visit.
Because this was a quick urgent request I didn’t want to mess with my existing cut and color which she totally respected and understood. We discussed future options and Emily has some great ideas for my hair color and style that I am really looking forward to doing in my next visit with her.
She is an extremely easy person to talk to (great quality in a hairstylist) and since I’m new to the area she shared some info on her local favorite spots.
Her prices were very reasonable and I felt it was money well spent at the end of the day :-).

Refreshingly honest, very talented, and patient to a fault, Emily can visualize what style/​color will make you look your best. I came to Emily in a panic because my hairstylist canceled on my at the last second RIGHT before 4^th of July. I had events planned and was counting on looking my best. I needed my extensions tightened and my blonde hair highlighted. Emily convinced me (in the most loving way possible!) that the extensions were shot — they’d lived a nice life but it was time to say a few words and let them RIP. She was right. They were aging me. She took what little hair I had left and instead of cutting it, which would make it even shorter, she added depth and the illusion of volume and length by using highlights and lowlights. I didn’t want to write a review right away because sometimes the experience is great in the salon, and then you get home and discover «zebra» stripes, patches where no highlights even exist, and the beloved orange roots. Well, Emily was kind enough to take me on exactly 5 weeks ago, and I DON’T HAVE ROOTS. Whaaatttt??? None! my natural haircolor has blended seamlessly with the lowlights and I don’t know how she did it, but Emily has made it look as though my hair GROWS OUT OF MY HEAD THIS WAY. For every super-​blonde girl out there, I know you get it! This is unheard of! I’m used to looking like a shot-​out barfly around week 4 (white blonde hair with dark brown roots — not cute), and being desperate for an appointment by week 5. To realize that right now, I can leisurely make an appointment, and not walk in next week looking like a crackhead, is nothing short of a miracle! It is beyond me why it took so long to find her, but I’m eternally grateful I did. She doesn’t «do hair.» Hair is her passion. She LOVES HER JOB. Very rare to find these days. I’m used to stylists imposing their ideas on me, being excessively late, forgetting to book me, doing partial services because they have somewhere they’d rather be, or just being annoying and staring at themselves in the mirror the whole time they are doing my hair/​talking to me. There was none of the bs with Emily and it was just so nice and how it is supposed to be! Emily is professional, a breath of fresh air, and HILARIOUS! You’ll feel like you just stopped in for a chat with a girlfriend, and leave with fabulous hair:) GO SEE HER. Do it.

I wanted to reach out real quick and say thank you again soooo much for making me into a new person with awesome hair J I love it so much, I keep passing by mirrors and windows and admiring myself (yipes). When I walked into work my boss said I looked like I was 10 years younger (the old days) J My husband loves it too, although he’s scared it might draw too much attention J Anyways, you are an amazing person and hairstylist, I really appreciate everything you did for me, squeezing me in last minute, taking the time and patience to fix me up, listening to me blab, giving me great service at a great price, staying super late, etc. I’m looking forward to meeting up with you again and please let me know if there is anything I can do to add more clientele to your list, I’ve already sung your praises to my sisters, and my mom is going to go bonkers when she see’s me. J Thank you again!

Emily is purely amazing! I had a certain haircut in mind but she opened my eyes to other options based on my face shape and what I was looking for. You really get a personalized cut, color, style etc. when you go to her. I had long boring hair for over a year. As boring as it was, I got comfortable with it and was terrified of cutting it. After everything was done, I couldn’t believe how amazing I looked. She made me feel beautiful again. Thank you so much Emily! Keep doing what you’re doing!!! And to anyone reading this… I highly recommend her to you and all your friends! :)

I had been going to the same hairstylist for over 10 years but she is located over an hour away and it just wasn’t feasible for me to drive there anymore. I was REALLY nervous about trying to find a new hairstylist! When I met Emily I instantly liked her style and she made me feel comfortable explaining what I was looking for. The next day I made an appointment and she got me in a few days later.
I’ve been to Emily a few times now and I LOVE my hair and I’m constantly getting compliments on it. She is very passionate about what she does and the products she uses. She listened when I told her my routine and how I needed something that won’t be too high maintenance. She also shows me new tricks everytime I come in on how to style my hair. I feel like she really cares about her clients and never makes you feel rushed.
I’d highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a stylist who is ambitious, passionate and really cares about her clients!

I went to Emily for a «trim» and feel like I have a whole new hairstyle. I haven’t had bangs since the early 90s but Emily convinced me that a fringe would not only frame my face but would take away the flat look that my hair can tend to get due to its thickness and weight. Additionally, she suggested some more layers all around but a clean line in the back would help me to keep my length as well as professional style She was right, my hair feels lighter, smoother and dare I say… flirty? I am approaching a birthday and Emily provided just the style I needed to feel a little better about another candle on the cake. Thanks Emily

I have a ton of curly hair, and I had just gotten a fairly unimpressive
expensive haircut. Emily cleaned up my shape in less than ten minutes and
without losing any length, made the style fall right into place. Add that
to killer haircare and styling tips, and the entire experience was
absolutely invaluable. Merci, Emily!

Emily is unbelievable with color. all she needs is a short consultation and she nails it. she did a beautiful job toning and completely highlighting naturally brown hair. I live in LA and I will continue to drive down to Orange County just for her color.

Emily is a phenomenal hair stylist who looks at ‘big picture’ when it comes to coloring/​styling. Through a keen professional eye, she takes into account her client’s lifestyle and overall look to create a personalized remedy for your hair. There is thoughtful reason behind every stroke of color or cut. To feel like my hair reflects my low maintenance lifestyle, and that the color is matched perfectly to my skin tone feels amazing!
Emily’s work speaks for itself. After one appointment I felt I could breathe a sigh of relief that my hair would now be in good hands for life! If you are stuck in a rut with the same color and style, do yourself a favor and go to Emily for a refreshing new outlook. Emily has the incredible talent to transform you into the most beautiful version of yourself.

It’s hard to find a colorist in Newport Beach that I can really talk to. It seems like most people just hurry you in and out. But when I go to Emily, I feel like she really cares about what she’s doing. I’m not just another notch on her totem pole. I recommend people to her all the time, because I know she won’t disappoint.
There’s enough unreliability in my life, so when I find someone that does a great job every time, I don’t let them go :)
Hmm…so on second thought, stay away from her! She’s mine!

I was in Newport Beach for a wedding and desperately needed a cut/​color that I didn’t have time to do before I left. A friend of mine recommended I go see Emily. She was pretty booked up, but I explained my situation and she took pity on me.
She consulted with me, and even though she was squeezing me in her schedule, I didn’t feel rushed. I tend to be picky when it comes to my hair so it was important we were on the same page.
She did a a great job! My hair looked awesome for pictures and my only complaint is that I can’t make her my permanent stylist /​colorist back in Maryland!
Highly recommend.

Emily is fabulous. She has totally saved my hair. She started doing my Brazilian blowouts, colors and cuts 2 years ago and my hair has never been longer and healthier. I always leave feeling confident and beautiful.

Five stars for Emily Cain! I got a cut and highlights from her a little over a week ago and have NOTHING to complain about.
Consultation: This was my 1^st experience w/​Hampton Salon & Emily. I knew within the first few minutes of the consultation that I was in good hands. I walked in only wanting a cut but felt so confident w/​her that I impulsively decided to let her color my hair as well. She spent a lot of time studying my hair and face shape, hair routine, and my likes vs dislikes.
Color: This was my first color job ever and Emily did a lot of hand-​holding + explaining throughout the entire process. She took my budget and work environment into consideration and suggested I get partial highlights to give me a warm, subtle look. When it comes to highlights, I get nervous that I’m going to end of with harsh looking streaks in my hair but the color and placement blends seamlessly into my natural color. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more patient stylist to take me through this new process. I can’t wait to take on a more daring look next time and Emily will definitely be my go-​to stylist.
Cut: I asked for a long, feminine haircut that would have movement to it and that’s exactly what I got. She was very thorough and checked my cut at the end to make sure everything sat well. She also gave me styling tips which is a huge plus!
Overall: I had an excellent experience. Emily listens, explains, and teaches!
